About Coronavirus Testing Location in Dublin, GA at South Central Health District
People living in the South Central Health District can be tested for COVID-19, but you have to be referred by a physician.
The 10 counties that district covers are: Bleckley, Dodge, Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Pulaski, Telfair, Treutlen, Wheeler, and Wilcox.
Healthcare providers within the district can refer patients to the drive-thru location in Laurens County.
They will ONLY be screening referrals from physicians, and the patients must meet the following criteria:
Those 60 or older, with a fever greater than 100.5 degrees and/or symptoms of a lower respiratory illness (cough, difficulty breathing), or have a chronic health condition, or are immunocompromised Individuals with a fever or symptoms of lower respiratory illness and have had close contact with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 patient or have a travel history to an affected geographical area with community transmission Healthcare providers who are mildly symptomatic with a history of exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 patient may be tested at the discretion of the District Health Director to make sure they are available for COVID-19 response
Again, they are NOT SCREENING THE GENERAL PUBLIC -- only those referred by a local healthcare provider.
